We’ve been fortunate enough to have Koornlands on our doorstep for nearly 20 years. It is a culinary institution and we were thrilled when they reopened again recently for their excellent steaks. We had the loveliest Sunday night dinner. Excellent service, delicious food, lots of laughter and great conversation. All in front of a toasty fire. Thank you Steve & Marianne for a wonderful night out. You know it’s been a good evening when the kids loved their meals too. Thank you.

Had gorgeous steak with perfectly cooked vegetables and a great salad. The owner are happy to make some changes to the menu to suit the customer. Very friendly and cosy with a fireplace for the colder days.

Romantic, relaxed vibe with a sense of adventure... African inspired menu prepared by Chef Marianne, adding her own delicious twists to each dish, garnished with culinary beauty. She comes to greet each customer before they leave, adding to the personal touch of the experience. Pricey, but definitely worth the try.

Great casual, comfy dining. Everything we had was excellently cooked - great service and value for money

Great service, amazing food in a nice fusion style (I.e. crocodile Sashimi😳😍). Thanks!

What a nice evening with tasty food and friendly people!

Food was good service not so good

Our dinner highlight in SA.We enjoyed every bite of it.Great hospitality and service

Very good food. Lots of varied taste in everything that is served. Eat while you hear the birds outside in the background and a soft pleasant African like music. Good atmosphere. Definitely recommended.

Best fillet I have ever had. Friendly owners and a must visit

Thank you so much for the absolutely amazing supper last night. Everything was perfect. The best food, great service!

This place is fantastic. Really nice personnel and the food is pretty nice. Everything is made with love and at the end of the night the cook came out and asked is everything was just right. They have a smaller menu but you will defenetly find something to eat. It is recommended to do a reservation because on both nights we were there it was reservation only. It wasnt a problem to reserve a table for the next day.This place is outrageous. We sat outside but the interior of the restaurant is also very nice with a look on every detail.

We were looking for a nice relaxed dinner with fantastic food. Our tastebuds exploded with pleasure as each dish outshone the other. It was such a nice change to have something a little different from the usual. The chef came out and actually spent time with us to help make decisions and giving us an intimate experience into their world. It felt like you were dining with friends. We met a lovely couple at the adjacent table and they too had the same experience. The food was incredible, a must try.

For work and leisure, I travel a lot and had the opportunity to eat in many country side places. This is one of the most amazing places. Even the vegetables are so tasty. Totally no idea how the owner can prepare such a great meal in a little town like this. If you drive pass, you just have to come in and try it.

Best food so far in South Afrika

Great staff and fantastic food. Very exceptional.

Our hosts in Swellendam recommended us this place for dinner. We didnt expect much but we were absolutely overwhelmed by the wonderful taste and quality of the food, and also by the hospitality we experienced that evening. Highly recommended.

Delicious food and warm friendly people running everything. Perfectly attentive without interrupting at any point. The chef personally made sure everything was to our satisfaction. Reasonably priced for the high quality.

Yesterday we had dinner at Koornlands restaurant, it was one of our favorite restaurants so far. The food was fantastic and the service was on spot! Thanks for the great evening!

Good wine. Excellent food. Perfect service.

Best meat, sauce and vegetables combination Ive ever had anywhere. Top notch, discreet and very friendly service too. Knew exactly when to offer their service without intruding.

Lovely tasting experience with joyfull owner and staff. You can make a selection of at least 3 smaller dishes and although the menu is not so big its hard to choose. Great food with great flavours and you can taste all the influences of the afrikaans kitchen. Nice wines as well.

Amazingly delicious food. Wish they were in our hometown!

Koornlands is the kind of experience you travel the world to find. Such a kind and friendly owner, such a beautiful, beautiful meal.

Very nice restaurant. Cosy inside. Very good service and reasonable prices.

Stunning place and a very warm welcoming

Good service, good food

Great food!

Fantastic services

Amazing food!

Expensive

Best steak in town! Really! Amazing! Ask for the bitterballen too!

Eaten super delicious. Absolutely individual advice. Sufficient time is left between the individual courses. Highly Recommended. Very nice reserved service, personal goodbye to the boss. Who is here in this place should definitely eat there. African cuisine

Very personal service, excellent wine and food selection. Very good food recommendation and advice from the owner / cook. Wed love to come back👍🏼

Clearly 5 starsAll dishes (we had a total of 6) were very delicious, great seasoned and beautifully presentedthe service was very nice and accommodatingthe portions are a bit smaller, but that is also communicated, so you also have the opportunity to try different dishes

Nice restaurant in Swellenden, the only one with local cuisine. The menu includes 2 or 3 courses, the prices are very low. For those who are hungry, I recommend the 3 courses, the doses are not abundant. You can taste different types of meat

South African cuisine in a nice atmosphere, friendly service. Reservation required. Worth it.

One of the best restaurants we have had in this country. Refined cuisine and showcasing regional products and African traditions. Superb thanks.

Restaurant whose chef cooks subtle African cuisine with incredible flavors and very refined. The cuisine is worthy of a gourmet restaurant. The kudu or antelope dishes are a marvel. For dessert, the homemade strawberry and berry cheesecake is one of the best desserts I have eaten. The staff and the manager are very friendly and take the time to chat. Another huge thank you. Too bad we live so far from South Africa.

Great food, fresh and local. Very friendly service and owners

The food is very good and we would rate it with 5 stars. The problem was that you have to bring a lot of time to eat. What bothered us the most is the fact that you had to take 3 courses. The waiting time between the starter and the main course was an hour. But then 2 main courses were served at the same time.

Delicious food! Typical African specialties (ostrich and kudu fillet) and delicious wines! The desserts are also recommended. In addition, friendly staff and a special atmosphere

In my 3 week South Africa vacation I ate here one of the best steaks!

Stayed here fantastic

The best Ive eaten in South Africa so far, all excellent!

Good food and friendly service
